According to former MLB GM Jim Bowden, the noise Pittsburgh Pirates fans have been making is finally reaching Bob Nutting.
The Pirates' owner, Bowden said this week on the Foul Territory podcast, is “tired of all the hatred from fans. They’re tired of them not coming to the ballpark when Paul Skenes isn’t pitching.”
Because that’s a beautiful narrative — the loyal small-market fan base finally complaining loudly enough that ownership says, “You know what? You’re right. We should try winning baseball games.” Cue the violin music. Roll the montage.
